| Taxonomic Notes: |
Lyonetia ledi Wocke, 1859 includes as a synonym Lyonetia candida Braun, 1916 in Kuroko (1964:23) without explanation. This synonymy, unrecognized in Hodges et al. (1983) (Checklist), does not seem supported by DNA barcoding and is rejected by Sohn in Pohl & Nanz (eds.) (2023). |
